Okay, I know a lot of you are wondering who in the heck Bob Dorough was. Well, if you're an American who grew up during the 1970's and early 80's, you'd recognize his work: Schoolhouse Rock. Even though he was 94, I was still surprised at his passing...and I was amazed at how many of the tunes I still remember!
If you like, here's a few links you can click to see how a good-sized chunk of America learned:

Personally, I think Schoolhouse Rock should be brought back!
